COLONY INFORMATION
Colony Age (approximate): 72 years
Population (approximate): 52,000

This is the only city on Chidowill
There are several research facilities spread
throughout the planet but most are concentrated
at Havenwood.
History:
The Chidowill research colony was founded some 70 years ago when a wealthy
merchant's son came down with a rare and uncurable disease known as Hickson's
syndrome, which attacks the brain's short term memory ability. Darren Chido
founded a colony in a recently explored sector and funded the settlement of
some 3000 scientists. Within 6 years the cure was found and was continued
to be funded by the merchant until his death. Afterwards provided the colony
with full control of all his assets as long as the colony remained a haven for
scientists and researchers. Now the colony has grown and continues to
research into various scientific fields.
Economy:
Latinum-based. Mostly dependent on outside assets
Tech Level: Modern - advanced research
Culture: Scientific community
Notes:
The colony's assets is controled by a board of directors that
handles the transfer and investment offunds in various corporations and
commodities. It is fairly well off and for the past several years has
been rather prosperous.
The colony being no more than a week and a half away from the
nearest starbase is close enough to recieve freighter shipments a couple
of times a week. This however usually carries equiptment or research
samples from nearby systems. The colony is mostly self-suffient, equiped
with replicators and enough supplies to last several years without resupply.
The colony has a major center in the city of Havenwood Springs.
The populace is grouped around this major administrative center, with
research facilities all over the place. Research is this colony's name
and they delve into all sorts of fields, from astro-physics to medical
technology, from psychology to botany.
The one major rule that is never violated by all the researchers of this
colony is that no research entails the development of weapons, whether
biological or mechanical. Their goal is to contine to research and
discover technology that will benefit all races.
